NOTE: Remains found in abandonment contexts are from individuals who are inferred to have died about A.D. 1280, the estimated year of village depopulation. The time of birth for those individuals was calculated by subtracting the age at death from 1280. The time of death for individuals who were formally buried was estimated using all pertinent information, such as stratigraphic data and tree-ring dates of associated structures and kiva suites. HRO = Human Remains Occurrence. * Older than 20 years of age, but probably not more than 60 years of age.
